At Plus 1, we believe that great experiences are even better when shared. Whether you’re looking for a new friend, a networking connection, or a date, Plus 1 makes it easy to find the right companion for any event or activity—without the endless swiping.
Our platform is designed to eliminate the hassle of traditional dating apps and social networks by focusing on real-life connections. Instead of spending hours messaging back and forth, users simply post a meetup request, browse local events, and instantly connect with like-minded people based on shared interests.
Launching first in Miami, Plus 1 is here to redefine the way people meet, make friends, and expand their social circles—whether it’s for a formal event like a wedding, a networking opportunity, a casual night out, a workout buddy, or just about anything in between.
Join us and never go solo!
